Basic Operation
Hot Plugging
The CS1768 supports hot plugging – components can be removed and added
back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the ports without the
need to shut the unit down. In order for hot plugging to work properly, the
procedures described below must be followed:
Hot Plugging KVM Ports
In order for the OSD menus to correspond to KVM port changes, you must
manually reconfigure the OSD to reflect the new port information. See the
F3
SET (page 31) and F4 ADM (page 33), functions for details.
Note: If the computer's operating system does not support hot plugging, this
function may not work properly.
Hot Plugging Console Ports
The keyboard, monitor, and mouse can all be hot plugged. When hot plugging
the mouse:
Š You may unplug and replug the mouse (to reset the mouse, for example),
as long as you use the same mouse.
Š If you plug in a different mouse, all the computers on the installation must
be shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted following the power up
sequence described under Steps 6, 7, and 8 under
Two Stage Installation ,

Note: If, after hot plugging there is no response to keyboard and/or mouse
input, perform a
Keyboard and Mouse Reset by simultaneously
pressing the 1 and 2 front panel port LEDs.
